Rocket Man . . or, Ready for Liftoff

Critique Style Requested: Standard

The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.

Description

Our garden is a reliable source of great floral subjects and also, on occasion, the opportunity for some whimsy. We have a bunch of anoles that cavort all over the property and this guy wanted to apply for astroNUT training. I suspect he might get more favorable consideration if he had turned around and faced up but I’m not familiar with lizard qualification standards. >=))>

Specific Feedback

This was in a shaded area and I wanted some SS to stop the motion of the dewlap, thus the relatively high ISO. Used some of the AI detail enhancement and noise reduction features in LR and was pretty impressed with the results. Your thoughts?
